 A
Fan's Journey Into Horror
by Trevor Griffiths
October 2005
The horror genre. It pulls in the freaks. The outcasts.
The outsiders. Those who won’t be pushed and pulled
by the whims of popular opinion. It’s not all about
severed heads and slasher flicks. Despite what you may think,
horror fans are not fans of the genre because they like blood
and gore (though that’s part of it). Far from it. Their
attachment to this very special subset of film fandom is an
integral part of who horror fans are and how they see the
world. Journey into horror fandom with unapologetic fan Trevor
Griffiths, as he pulls you into his world in this  exclusive
series, A Fan’s Journey Into Horror.

 Diary Of An Aspiring Film Snob
by Eric San Juan
June-August 2005
Is it possible to transform yourself from a
casual movie fan to a living, breathing, true-to-life film
snob? Eric San Juan was determined to find out, chronicling
his experiences with cinema in Diary Of An Aspiring
Film Snob. He had never been a very good film snob.
Not by any means. Star Wars was the height
of cinema. Black and white was a death sentence for a film.
And if a movie lacked explosions? It was out of the question
to even bother with it. But then something happened. Something
that changed the way he looked at film. Thus was set his course
towards film snobbery. Diary Of An Aspiring Film Snob tells the tale.

 The
Work of Milla Jovovich:
An Introduction
by Shawn McLoughlin
Oh, how we love her. We love her, love her,
love her. Also, we think she’s kinda spiffy. She, of
course, is Milla Jovovich, the most gorgeous and smart and
talented and sexy and totally kick-ass woman on the entire
planet. We love her so much she is the focus of her own series
of reviews by Milla Adoration Society president Shawn McLoughlin.

listen to Shawn gush about her. (Or maybe you shouldn’t.)
From the smash hits to the obscure, in The Work Of
Milla Jovovich Shawn will review it all. With one
hand.

 The
Pigeons Have Flown The Coup
by Hardcore Legend
September 2005 To Present
Did you ever wonder what owning and operating
an independent movie theater was really all about?
We sure did. That’s why we tapped the talent and insight
of “Hardcore Legend” to give our readers a look
into a little known side of the film business. Namely, running
your own theater, Hardcore, writing under a pseudonym to protect
his anonymity and business – when you see how he skewers
Disney’s business practices you’ll understand
why this is important – takes us inside the numbers,
inside the box office, and inside the decisions that keep
an independent movie theater afloat. How much does it really
cost for a theater owner to bring The Chronicles Of
Narnia to you? What happens when an expected success
ends up flopping? And why the hell is popcorn ten bucks!?
Hardcore Legend offers his insight in this periodic series.

 “I Swear I’ve Seen This Before!”
by Eric San Juan
September 2005 - ongoing
Remakes. A new artistic vision for old favorites,
or the raping and pillaging of once classic films? The truth
lies somewhere in the middle. But love them or hate them,
remakes are inevitable. Hollywood, as Fark.com is so fond
of saying, is out of ideas. Don’t expect anything new
from the suits who have their hands on the money. Your favorite
film may have already been remade. And if it hasn’t
been, it may well be one day. Some remakes are pure gems that
stand strong on their own; others are pale imitations of the
original. That’s what the I Swear I’ve
Seen This Before series is all about. Taking a look
at remakes and seeing how they stack up against the original.
What works. What doesn’t. What’s worth watching.
What isn’t. But most of all, it gives us an excuse to
engage in mental masturbation. And after all, who doesn’t
like masturbation?
